"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Basically ever since the late 90s. The late 90s enshrined comp sci next to lawyer and doctor as the get rich jobs, except with super low education requirements.
I remember tons of folks when I was in college who didn't want to do any of this "nerdy crap", but they saw dollar signs.
Actually about 1997-2015
Most of the 90s was renegades and hobbyists. The gravy boat for lazy incompetants didn't start, really, until the post dot-bomb bubble pop settled around 2003ish
